Wanderers win championship
Andrew Board Wanderers were the toast of the town on Saturday, fighting back to win the Nelson Bays division two championship in Brightwater. Close to 500 spectators filled the sidelines of the Brightwater Domain to witness the first championship by the clubs top team in decades. It took a second half comeback, into a slight breeze, to clinch the win

over Murchison, 16-12. The win is great news for the club which has grown its base to include a rugby league and football team after already catering to rugby and netball. Club manager Diane Drogemuller says the win comes on the back of an already great season. “We’ve got the netball girls doing a great job and with the soccer and league guys around the club, it has a

real buzz about it.” Wanderers last won the division two in 2000, but at the time had a division one team as well. Diane says this season’s win is deserved and she had nothing but praise for the players and especially the management. “I’ve never seen them so happy and I’m chuffed that this has come for them, they deserved it.” Full match coverage on page 21.

I’ve lost plenty of jewellery; it all had sentimental value so that’s a pretty big thing for me.

The biggest thing I’ve lost was my mother, she died eight years ago.

MP’s promise to help village residents FROM PAGE 1 leases by 56 percent and now we have been informed they are going to ask for another increase. Since the new owners took over the levy has gone up a huge amount and we have no protection. The retirement commissioner cannot help as we are not a registered retirement village. What protection can we get from the authorities other than taking them to arbitration again, it cost us $5,000 last time, that’s a lot of cake stalls or garage sales, which is basically our source of income as a residents committee within the village. “We would like to see our government or your party take a good look at what protection you are giving as politicians to the elderly to prevent
this type of economic increase which is far above what the elderly can budget for. These people bought their homes, did their sums and were not expecting these huge increases to take place.” Annette thanked the speaker and while offering sympathy and empathy for their situation spoke of when her party was in Government the regulations they put into place around retirement villages that weren’t covered before. “However, there is obviously still a very big loophole because as you said Waimea Village is not a registered retirement village. I will undertake to go back and then come back to you on what we can do to address this situation.” Annette asked for details of issues concerning and affecting residents and promised she would look at these issues with people in caucus.

Richmond Church of Christ sent out a message to Waimea Weekly readers in the last issue as it searched for its founding church building in the lead up to its 100 year anniversary, and the answers were flooding in to pastor Steve Rollo’s office midweek. The roof of a Brightwater work-shed is now what remains of the church that was first built in 1911, where it was situated on Queen St in place of the current Richmond Library. It is understood the roof - now owned by Brightwater resident Tony Baigent - was taken off when the church was sold to Wrighton’s in 1980 and the roof was moved to a Gibbon’s owned property in Brightwater. “Gibbons, the company that built the new Wrighton’s and the Library and all that, well they owned this property and I brought it off Gibbons 21 years ago,” confirms Tony. Gibbon’s had used the shed to stack hay, something Tony, too, used it for, for many years before converting it in to a work-shed. “I used to stack it up right up to the rafters. You can get a lot of hay in here.” His son had originally wanted to use the roof on a house.
Tony always knew the history of the shed and says his son-in-law went to the original church when he was a boy. Steve was visiting another shed in the area when he drove past Tony’s and knew that he had found the correct one. “It completes a puzzle that we’ve been wanting to put together as we prepare for our centenary,” says Steve. “With all the information given, it was the more obvious one. We received a lot of information that will help in the history of the church and will be recorded in a book that will be published at the time of our centenary.” A number of people provided the church with information about its history. One Richmond resident was a bridesmaid at the old church in 1943 and Steve says stories like that are “exciting” and would love to hear any more. The anniversary celebration will include a vintage car rally around the Waimea Plains, the area the former church building is situated in and where the founding families lived. If you would like to be part of the centenary celebrations, email Steve at richmondchurch@xtra. co.nz.

Murch nurse the regions first After five years of intensive study, Sue Dawkins from Murchison has become the first registered nurse practitioner in the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board. Sue recently completed her nurse practitioner qualifications in primary care. A Masters in Health Practice (Nursing) plus a minimum of four years practice as a registered nurse working in a speciality are was needed before she could embark on this qualification that has a stringent assessment and interview process with the Nursing Council of New Zealand. As a nurse practitioner Sue will be able to hold clinics, diagnose, order tests and prescribe medication and treatment. The role improves access to healthcare, especially in rural communities and can help bridge gaps in health delivery. Sue says, rural areas often struggle to attract GP’s and nurse practitioners are proving effective in a variety of primary care settings, in a role that is complimentary to a GP’s. “The Sue Dawkins. nurse practitioners scope ensures they are of enormous benefit to rural communities, family health and those with specific health needs in chronic care conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cardiac care. “It means there is room for more patients to be seen by a primary care provider, especially in a setting like Murchison where GP’s only visit three times a week.” Robyn Henderson Director of Nursing and Midwifery says “This is a major milestone in nursing in the district. I congratulate Sue on this achievement and look forward to working with here on setting up a position in Murchison where this new qualification can be fully utilised to enhance community health outcomes.” Sue credits the support she received from the GP’s and all the staff in Murchison for helping her succeed in her goal, there are currently 95 nurses in New Zealand registered as nurse practitioners.

We don’t want to go down the death row track just yet.” While the high cost of dog registrations is often given as a reason owners can’t afford to keep their pets, Donna says the biggest problem is unwanted puppies and she would rather see an incentive for owners to de-sex their dogs as opposed to cheaper registration fees. “If we can get dogs desexed that will go a long way to helping solve this heartbreaking problem we are facing right now.” to n to Be iin Be

Just last week centre manager Donna Walzl sent seven puppies to other centres around the country in a bid to save their lives as some local owners threaten to kill dogs the SPCA cannot pick up immediately.

Fresh Choice celebrates Bastille Day in style A touch of France came to Richmond Mall last week, when Napolean Boneparte was seen walking among the aisles of wine at Fresh Choice. No, it wasn’t the ‘Emperor of France’ himself or a figment of customers imaginations, it was soon discovered the ‘imposter’ was Fresh Choice Liquor Manager Dave Jones. With July 14 being Bastille Day, Dave decided it was a great opportunity to promote the store’s wide range of French and other international wines. Dressed in a colourful military uniform and looking every bit as imposing as the great man himself, Dave spent the day assisting customers while attracting more than the ‘odd second glance’ from many. Dave says, he was only wearing the costume for Bastille Day, after that it was back to normal, although the French theme and the special wine promotion will run until the end of the month at the Richmond store.

Richard celebrated his centenary birthday with close friends and family at Richmond Church of Christ on Thursday, a good second choice for the Wakefield man. “I said I’d like to go bush like they do in Australia,” says Richard. “I used to do a lot of mountain climbing, all the different walks around the South Island.” Richard, who has lived in Wakefield the majority of his life, and was born in Spring Grove, used to farm sheep and cows as a boy with his father, when he finished school in Richmond as a 14 year-old. The farm was home to a “few cows and gardening.” Richard says it was hard work, but he still got to wake up when he felt like it. Years later his father helped him purchase a farm in Wakefield. “It was a couple of hundred acres perhaps. Mainly cow and milk supply.” In his spare time, Richard, being a big “outdoors man,” walked and climbed mountains all over the South Island and Australia. His collection amassed two rooms at his home and he still has a few of those today. He says it is “quite an honour” to receive the birthday card from the Queen, but he doesn’t feel any different. “I’m just one day older. I’m no different.” Being an outdoors man, Richard is always staying fit today. “I still do exercises three times a week in the gym. I don’t feel 100 that’s for sure.” Richard had three birthday parties, the one with friends and family concluded a party at his Oakwoods residency. tempt at repair. You may like to know you were extremely lucky that the mob of 40 mature bulls and steers in that paddock were obviously at the other end while you were trespassing. Next time you may not be so lucky. It is because of people like this that we have had to put up the “No Access” signs, people that do not care about other peoples property or the damage they cause. What is it about snow that makes people loose all common sense and courtesy? Regards, Kirsten Dick, St Arnaud.

Nelson Lakes, the region’s best kept secret Helen Campbell and Randall Uitendaal have a dream, to see more visitors to Nelson Lakes an area that many tourists and locals drive past, unaware of the beauty, spectacular scenary and activities that it offers. In 1855 Julius von Haast remarked he had no idea that “such a jewel in point of landscape” existed so near Nelson while others have called the area Nelson’s “best kept secret”. With its rugged peaks, glacier lakes and spectacular beech forested valleys it is a true wilderness offering walks, snow skiing and mountaineering opportunities for those who love the outdoors. Situated in the middle of the Nelson Lakes National Park, this spectacular area is unfortunately never seen by many of the tourists who visit our region throughout the year. This is something Randall, manager of The TopHouse Historic Hotel and Helen owner of the Wairau Pass Homestay want to see change. In an effort to encourage more visitors and promote Nelson Lakes as a destination in itself, not merely a place that people pass through, they have formed Destination Nelson Lakes, a new community and business promotion association. Helen says she was astonished to discover that many Nelsonians had never even visited the area and seen the beauty of something that is on their “own doorstep”. “We want to promote the Nelson Lakes area as a place full of activities for the tourist. We have everything to offer from wonderful walks and tracks to mountain-bike trails, kayaking, rafting and of course the Rainbow Ski field. “We formed Destination Nelson Lakes about six months ago and so far we have about 30 paid up members all keen to see this be a success. We have also been fortunate in getting a grant from the Tasman District Council which was a great help.” By September the group hopes to have its website live, and is currently busy planning a programme of events for an Alpine SummerFest weekend, all aimed to attract those elusive visitors.

MAKE SOME NOISE: Richmond Mall manager David Hill and Waimea Intermediate teacher Nigel Tyler with students picked to be part of the first “Richmond Mall Noise Crew” for the Makos. Photo: Andrew Board.
Go Makos and win a grand! The Makos are coming and so too is the chance to show your support and win one of three $1000 Richmond Mall voucher at the same time. “Signing up the Makos” is your opportunity to get creative and win. Simply make a sign that says “Go Makos”, make sure you also include the words “Richmond Mall” somewhere on the sign. Then put it up somewhere between Rai Valley and Murchison and take a photo to prove it. All photos need to be sent into Waimea Weekly and the best sign up before each of the three games to be played in Nelson will win one of three $1000 Mall vouchers. Photos must be raw (not altered) and you must include sign location details and your name, address and contact details. Mall manager David Hill says the more creative the location of the sign the better. “We, of course, urge you to use your common sense when putting up the signs and will not accept entry’s that break any law. But other than that, impress us.” The best looking sign in the coolest location will
win one of the three $1000 prizes. Signs must be up by the day prior to each of the games – August 16, 21 and 25 – and emailed to us before the game starts. David says the biggest mall in the top of the South Island is keen to show the centre’s support for the Tasman Makos and has sponsored the Makos “noise crew” this season – new to the region’s top rugby team. The noise crew, similar to the same crew it sponsors for the Nelson Giants basketball team, will see a group of school kids dressed in Makos jersey’s scream, shout and make as much noise as possible to support our local rugby team. David says it’s a great way for local kids to get involved and have a bit of fun at local sporting events. “They all love it and it really adds to the atmosphere as well. The noise crew will be fantastic for the Makos and will help other spectators really get in behind our team.” All photos for the “Signing up the Makos” competition need to be sent to sales@waimeaweekly. co.nz

For some time now Greg & Deborah of Cartridge World Nelson & Richmond have been searching for a suitable compatible for the Epson 73N range of cartridges and, at last, they have found one. ‘We have tried several different bands of compatible cartridges from distributors around New Zealand and have found them to have sub standard print quality and reliability. Then we discovered the Pro Color brand in Australia, trialed them, and have found them to give superb printing result,” says Greg. The Genuine Epson 73N Black cartridge only has approximately 7 milliliters of ink in them where the Pro Color 73N Compatible Black cartridge has approximately 12 mil-
liliters, that is 70% more ink! The Genuine Epson 73N Colour cartridges only have approximately 5 milliliters of ink in each of them where the Pro Color 73N Compatible Colour cartridges have approximately 12 milliliters, that’s a whopping 140% more ink! As well as getting more ink for just $18.00 per cartridge we can also refill the Pro Color 73N Cartridges for just $14.50 each, resulting in even more savings. Our first shipment of these cartridges sold out, and the second shipment has just arrived in store. Make sure you get in quick, and don’t forget that all our refills and the Pro Color 73N cartridges have a full warranty.

Indoor bowls tournament proves the Club is the perfect host The Clubs New Zealand women’s indoor bowls championship was a huge success with Club Waimea excelling on and off the floor. Club Waimea was joint host of the tournament after the relocation from earthquake ravaged-Christchurch, and the tournament is already having major spinoffs for the club and its competitors with new players already showing interest and a new member at Monday night’s section play. More than 200 competitors took part in the women’s nationals and came from the furtherest corners of the country from Auckland right down to Invercargill. Club Waimea’s Lyn Sloper was the big winner at the competition with a gold in the singles and in the triples alongside Linda Carrick and Betty Henderson. Linda, who doubled as tournament convener, says the Club had a great organizing team behind the scenes. “It’s not just one person. We do have people in charge of different parts of the event and everyone does their part well it all just slots together,” she says. The feedback from other competitors from outside the region was great too. “From the players point of view we received many congratulations that it was a well run and friendly tournament. People seem to always enjoy coming to the Tasman region.” The days of the tournament were long with competitors leaving their motels at 7:15am and not getting back till 10pm. But the Club Waimea’s top class facilities were a welcoming sight for those from out of town, who could relax in the friendly, warm environment, between matches.

Rowan Dron is now installing My Freeview, HD digital television.

Freeview is the only way to continue to get free TV and Rowan can look after the transfer for you. Because Rowan is a qualified and registered electrician he offers a complete package from a simple switch over for your current television, Rowan Dron right through to installation of new TV’s, audio systems or home theatre packages, even installing new power points if you need them. Rowan uses top of the line quality products from NZ backed, European brand Triax, which are far superior to some of the products currently coming out of China, but without an expensive price tag. Whether you have one or two television sets in your home, or in instances like motels, need to transfer multiple TVs, Rowan can take care of it for you.

On the Brightside Hi there everyone, Winter is well and truly here, there is snow on the mountains and there is a chill in the air. Hope you are all keeping warm. This month we held our Annual General Meeting where we elected the Officers and Committee for the Association. Immediately following this we held our usual Monthly meeting. Rua gave us an update on the BMX track – a very successful working bee was held with help from diggers and rollers. Thanks to those businesses that helped out with this, all the young and not so young bmxers will appreciate your time and effort. Franks Trees have generously given us two trees to plant in the Village Green area, a flowering cherry and a beautiful magnolia, so keep an eye out for these. Brightwater Branch of Rural Women NZ Rural Women NZ recently held their National Conference in Auckland. One highlight was a speech by David Huebner, US ambassador to NZ and Samoa. He spoke about his upbringing on a farm in small town Pennsylvania and how much the rural communities are changing in USA. No single industry dominates, including farming, and the only communities that are growing are those that have diversified. Most of the US economy relies on Small to Medium Enterprises and women run a high percentage of them. In Samoa rural women are taking a leading role

World Famous in Brightwater It’s not often we can skite about a local, medal winning Olympian! But that’s just what our own 21 year old Clayton Marr is... a real Champ! Recently Clayton returned from the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece where his medal haul included, one gold, two bronze and a well placed 4th in his powerlifting events. With his bright and cheerful personality, Clayton is a big hit wherever he goes. Clayton spends long hours training, both at the ASB Aquatic Centre where 7.30am starts are fairly usual, and powerlifting at City Fitness Nelson with Trainer Nigel Burges. When not training, Clayton enjoys his job at the Sprig & Fern, Brightwater, who are one of the many businesses that have been involved in sponsorship and fundraising to help make it possible for Clayton to compete. The Ulysses Club have been tremendous supporters too, and were there to welcome him with ‘congratulations’ banners when he returned home. Watch this space, with the wonderful support network that cheers for Clayton, his very proud family, and many friends, we look forward to hearing about his future endeavours. Well done, Clayton!

This Week
On the Brightside Scout Challenges This term our scouts have been challenged to learn new skills, and Leaders have been learning too! They recently took apart a couple of 2 stroke outboard motor engines and saw how the motor actually worked. The engines were not reassembled as they were worn out but it was great to see the boys disassembling pieces and several were keen to take bits home! We also had a Master Chef Scout night where they individually had to cook a main meal - pasta and tuna, and a dessert - custard squares, on a gas stove. There were some very edible results. Most of the custard squares were eaten before leaving for home. Amazing how a single recipe can turn out so different! At the end of term we have a caving trip planned, so the boys will be challenged further to explore underground. We would like to thank those who supported us by buying firewood loads, the money we raised will help to fund further activities for the scouts, and cubs, in the coming terms. Pinegrove Kindergarten As we near the end of term 2 it is hard to believe that half the year has gone by so quickly. The morning children have been exploring the art medium of screen printing on calico material, which in turn will be sewn into calico bags. These will become part of our sustainable practice to help reduce the amount of plastic bags within our Kindergarten with the support of the TDC Zero Waste Fund from the Waste Education Services, a service provided by the Nelson and Tasman District Councils. Dogs have been very popular within children’s imaginative play lately and we were lucky to have Robert, who is legally blind and his 18month old guide dog, Inchy, visit our Kindergarten and tell us about why he needs Inchy. The children learned that Inchy gives Robert the mobility to leave his home and independence to explore his surroundings and meet the demands of everyday life. Robert is a family member of one of
our children who has now turned 5 and gone to school and we were very thankful to Anya Ter Borg and her family for sharing this experience with us. It has been a long process, but we finally have our brand new spanking red ponchos, which were kindly sponsored by Jen and Rhys Horncastle of Stonewood Homes (one of our Kindergarten families). They have been used when it’s wet and windy so that children can still explore outside despite weather changes and we have had positive responses from parents and the children love walking in the rain too! The morning children have just been on an excursion to the Nelson Gymnastic Club where they were able to run freely exploring the many tricks their bodies are most capable of, such as jumping, walking on beams, hanging on the rings, swinging on the bars, skipping, hopping, as well as developing safety awareness of themselves and others and most of all, having FUN! The afternoon children will be visiting the Mapua Aquarium next week which will be very exciting especially as they have been enjoying lots of stories and songs about the sea at mat time and at the water play. Of course it is always hard to decide what to add to the newsletter, but some of the highlights have been parent education opportunities with Dr Donna Swift, a social anthropologist, who specialises in behaviours that are affecting our young girls and women and Lee Corlett from Sporting Initiatives. Life is never boring at Kindergarten as everyday is a new day with new and exciting opportunities and we look forward to sharing more of our stories with you all next time. Pinegrove Teaching Team

Sports In BrIef FOOTBALL: Richmond Athletic kept its title hopes on track over the weekend, beating FC Nelson College 2-0. Ben Eder and Ben Wright scored for Richmond. NETBALL: Local netballers are in action at Saxton Field this week as part of the Tasman under 19 and under 21 rep teams. The region is hosting the national tournament for both grades both inside the Saxton Stadium and on the outdoor courts. Waimea girl Zoe Walker is captaining the team. ATHLETICS: Local racewalker Nyle Sunderland has claimed her third gold medal at the world masters track and field championships in Sacramento. Nyle added first place in the 20km road race to her golds in 5000m and 10km events in the women’s 40 years division. Murchison player attempts to break the Wanderers line with just seconds remaining in the match. A turn over after the tackle was the last play of the game. Photo: Andrew Board.
Wanderers edge out Murch in thriller Wanderers have stormed home to win the division two championship, defeating Murchison 16-12. The game was built up as a war between two country sides, heavy on guts and determination and after 80 minutes of gripping rugby around 500 fans would have no problem agreeing they had witnessed a true battle. Taylor’s Wanderers was the first side to dot down early in the match with a try to Tyler Bergman but it was the only time in the first half the home side looked in control. Aimless kicks gave Murchison plenty of attacking opportunities, and despite furious defence, it scored two tries to take a 12-5 lead at half time. The highlight of the first 40 minutes was the terrier-like play of the Murchison forward pack. They threw themselves at rucks and mauls and provided a strong platform for its backline. And it would have been a brave punter to bet against Murchison grinding out a win, but buoyed by a slight wind advantage and signs around the ground cheering them on, Wander-
ers went about their work to get back the lead. Twice skipper Scott Reed instructed his kicker Tyler to take penalty shots at goal, and twice he responded favourably. Those two kicks got Wanderers within three points but more importantly it handed them the momentum and Murchison succumbed to the same tactic that hurt Wanderers in the first half – aimless kicks. Wanderers looked to be the far better side in the second half but it wasn’t until the final quarter when Floyd Cavell, off the back of a ruck, busted his way over the line to score his sides second try and give it a 16-12 lead. Then Murchison swung right on attack, testing the defence of the blue and gold’s. Wave upon wave of attack was defused by Wanderers and when one final raid into the Wanderers 22 was turned over and booted for touch and the final whistle blown, the home crowd erupted. Scott says the win was huge for the team. “I’m stoked, it’s awesome, Murch were bloody tough and really gave it to us but I’m really happy we did it.”

Waimea Old Boys 2011
www.wobrfc.co.nz
Women to host semi final this weekend Waimea Old Boys have always been able to turn to its women’s side when looking for trophies. Over the past decade it has established itself as the team to beat and, despite a couple of losses this season, is again hosting a semi final in 2011. The girls are hosting Central, from Blenheim, at 1.15pm this Saturday at Jubilee Park. Team member Aleisha Hart says the team would appreciate as much support as possible. “We get a real boost when we have supporters there watching us and supporting us, so hopefully
there will be a big crowd there this Saturday.” In the other semi final Stoke, who finished top of the table, are hosting Marist. Last time Waimea played Central it won in a canter, by 50 points. But it will not want to forget a shock loss at the hands of Central earlier this season. But Aleisha is confident the girls will be focused. “We will have our strongest team available and will really want to put in a good performance. If we can win and win well it will give us great momentum ahead of the final.”

Hey, thanks for reading Waimea Old Boys division three player Brent Brown in action against Stoke. Waimea are set to play Stoke at home this Saturday and are looking to extend its two year unbeaten streak at Jubilee Park. Waimea are on top of the division three table this year, 11 points clear of its closer opposition. The team has four round robin matches left before the semi finals, which it has already qualified for.

Garin footballer off to score in US It’s called the land of opportunity, and Garin College footballer Erik Panzer is hoping to grab every opportunity the United States holds when he jets off for college trials this week. The 18 year-old Nelson Suburbs midfielder will be taking a threegame break from his Robbie’s Premier League duties as he chases a scholarship with training camps at NCAA division one colleges Temple University in Philadelphia and Northwestern University in Chicago. With his final year at Garin College close to concluding, the school’s captain of sport says combining academic studies partnered with football development makes the US college system the most appealing option. “If I get injured and can’t play football again in my life I need something to fall back on,” says Erik. “I think it’s just going to be the best opportunity for me to increase my football skills and develop myself as a better footballer. There are better opportunities over there than staying here in New Zealand.” But Erik admits it’s a “complete unknown” without any knowledge on the standard of football at both colleges. “I’ll just play my heart out for eight days and if they like me, they like me.” Erik is the first Garin College player
to make the Nelson Suburbs Mainland League side and has been a regular starter at the back this season, despite spending the majority of his young playing career in central midfield. “I want to play each week so wherever he [coach John Slotemaker] puts me I’ll play.” But Erik is enjoying the central defensive position, being able to read the game more from the back. Erik has also made the odd appearance for the Garin College first XV rugby team in the past, but a busier football schedule has seen the head-gear remain in the cupboard for 2011. But over the summer, Erik captains the first XI cricket team and is a member of the Senior A volleyball team. He also coaches the year nine boys football team, who have been promoted in to the 14th grade first division midway through the season. Erik is also targeting a Canterbury United ASB Youth League spot for the summer, after hopefully securing a scholarship for next August. “Hopefully Slotsy will offer me that chance this year. It’s been a goal of mine and this year there’s not many under 19 year-olds that are starting every week in Mainland football.” With Nelson Suburbs sitting in second place, Erik is hoping they continue to push league leaders Ferrymead Bays to set up a potential “grand final” final round fixture.

Wanderers gain premier spot In the Grade 1 top of the table clash on Saturday, Wanderers Taylors A did their homework and prepared well for their match up against Rival Cougars. Club stalwart, Deb Vincent was bought in for a training session, where they worked on their defensive game and it paid off. Wanderers player – coach Sam Lowe said each and every player contributed to the result. The defence toiled to create turnover ball, which was bought through the court with speed to be regularly converted. Sam sung the praises of goal shoot, Kim Starnes who had an outstanding game as the dominant shooter. Sam, herself did the court work and was content to be the feeder. Young centre, Emese Bismark had a dynamic game, particularly on defence where she contested every ball. She was on the top of her attacking game as she hit the top of the circle to put in some beautiful feeds. Wanderers were served well at wing attack by Holly Ade-Simpson and Amie Tutty who shared the duties. Imogen Smith turned in a strong performance
on the wing before moving into the circle for the final quarter. Goal defence, Amber Granger gained numerous tips and intercepts and rebounded strongly to deny Rival of the second opportunity. She was also effective in bringing the ball through court. Goal keep, Jenny Horncastle displayed a great understanding with Amber as they played an effective zone circle defence. Jenny was prepared to hunt and was rewarded with some well timed intercepts in the 36 – 24 win. Wanderers would be Wanderers goal shoot Kim Starnes the toast of their club as lines up a shot.
